本题考查对短语含义的理解以及同义词的辨析。解题思路是先明确题干中短语“derives from”的意思,再逐一分析各个选项的含义,找出与“derives from”意思相同的选项。
- 题干中“derives from”的意思是“起源于;源自”。
- 选项A:“originates from”,“originate”有“起源;发源”的意思,“originates from”同样表示“起源于;源自”,与“derives from”意思一致。
- 选项B:“leads to”,“lead”有“引导;导致”的意思,“leads to”表示“导致;通向”,与“derives from”意思不同。
- 选项C:“ends with”,“end”有“结束”的意思,“ends with”表示“以……结束”,和“derives from”的含义不相符。
- 选项D:“departs from”,“depart”有“离开;背离”的意思,“departs from”表示“离开;背离”,并非“起源于”的意思。
